Orang Utan visit in Camp Leaky, Kalimantan
Short description
My wife and me have been visiting Indonesia in 2004. One of the best trips we have made there is to go to Kalimantan (former Borneo), hire a boat with captain and cook, and visit one of the remaining Orang-Utan forests in Tanjung Puting National Park.
When visiting Camp Leaky, we saw several times Orang-utans, and it was amazing to see those friendly animals near to you. You really wonder how the world came to the current situation where there are less and less orang-utans each year... Look at the pictures and become addicted to those animals like we :-)
By the way, also the boat tour was excellent, sleeping on a river, being waked up by monkeys, a cook making romantic food, just what we needed for our holiday ;-)
How did your Visit help?
By visiting the park and doing some donations you help te preserve these wonderful animals. Moreover we have adopted an orang-utan (called Chico) later via Stichting Bos.

We took the boat from Java to Kalimantan. This was an exciting tour! I think you can also take an airplane form Java.
How much did it cost?
I don't remember, but it was worth each penny!
When were you there?
